Can we have a quick survey here of what size clients are selecting the yield curve vs. Alternative I or Alternative II interest rate approaches to prepare the 2008 pension plan funding valuations? And if Alternative I or II is being chosen (Alternative II will be the phase in approach), what month are you using to select an interest rate?
